There is trouble in my mind
D5 C
There is dark, there is dark and there is light
Em C
Lay your hands over my eyes
D5 C
Cause I look deep, through valleys deep and wide
C/b Am
Across the borderline

For the empire of my mind

You are the reason I don’t sleep
You are alive, breaking through the leaves
You know how hard I try,
to believe I have something good inside
Over barracades I climb
For the empire of my mind
I have no love somwhere in time
I’ve been lifted up
I’ve looked honor in the eyes
I have no reason, I have no right
I cannot deny there’s a darkness inside
I’m guilty by desire
And now I realize
The temptations make me glide
To the empire of my mind
Em C
There is no order
C/b Am
There is chaos
And there is crime
D5
There is no one alone tonight
Em
With the empire of my mind
There is no distance I don’t see
I do have a will no minute to my breach
I wish I would, I wish i might
See a line tonight, seperating wrong from right
Some are only ones you try
Maybe that’s the reaosn why
I’m afraid someday i’ll die
with the empire of my mind
Enjoy!
